Friends and family in business is hard to navigate. If they become your client it’s complicated. I have people who I thought were my friends who were also my clients, until I left the salon ( it was a big high street brand that people went to because it was cool to ) they dropped me like a hot...

October is always a quiet month especially in hard times because everyone’s saving for Xmas so hold out and you should get your clients coming back very soon. I always wondered if a subscription service would work - there are companies that would handle the monthly payments for you and you...

Hi I’ve had an issue for years with contact lenses and glasses. Never quite finding a one fits all type to suit my age related deteriorating vision. Varifocals are no good for close up work and reading glasses worn all the time tired my eyes. I’ve just bought occupational lenses and they are...

Ok so I’m trying to get a colour like this in the pic 90% white hair at the temples going to 60% at the back natural base 6 Her hair throws off so much warmth. Bleach slices even at the sides where it is already at it whitest seem creamy yellowy What would be best option for regrowth? I’ve...

I think what you have been doing is still the best way to blend her whites popping through because she’s naturally so dark. Adding a Demi permanent when you do the highlights would be better coverage. If shes got this idea in her head which I know often clients do by thinking an all over colour...

Beautiful 😍

Wow Just wow

Agree with @ronray It’s never too late although if you want to train again you might find it difficult getting into a salon to do that as an assistant. One way in would be to get a job as a salon host or receptionist then join in on assistant training nights that way. And with this way you...

You sound like you are the bread winner in your salon and it is such an easy trap to fall into. Ive done the same. If you weren’t there doing your clients there’s be no money in the salon. You need one or two employed staff to work with you that you can trust of course and build your clients...

sounds like you’ve got neighbours from hell moved in 😭 We have had many many disturbed nights from Anti social behaviour where we live so can tell you it is a long haul to get it stopped. You should get in touch with your council first and speak to them. Record any disturbances - there are...

Your guy looks like he’s got a disconnected haircut as the length looks pretty long on the top and down the back. He’s obviously jelled it to look business like with a suit but it’s a popular haircut at the mo cut shorter on the sides and high like in this pic. If your hair is thick and wavy...

Hi Just for a little market research to all mobile and self employed hairdressers so would really appreciate your help. How are you all finding work post covid? What areas do you struggle with within being self employed? Would you ever consider joining a group that would offer cheaper and...

Ok so it’s not your colour ✅ Breakage can happen at any length on hair. And yes it can be new hair growth too. It can be just a natural change in your hair as your hair texture /life span can change over time. Your hair in you pic looks lovely, strong & healthy so don’t over analyse it too much...

I’ve learnt the hard way too -everyone leaves themselves wide open your not the only one. We are hairdressers not accountants! 😄 but always have everything written down. Doesn’t matter who they are friends or family. She can’t just change your terms without notifying you and giving you notice...

Hi If you are using permanent hair dye it will have a higher strength peroxide so there’s more oxidative stress/ damage which may cause naturally curly hair to be more brittle = less elasticity It’s usually the finer hairs around the parting and hairline that would be effected and this may...

Hi if she’s blocked you it either a sign of guilt or she doesn’t want to you to access client records before you leave . Do you have any of your client diary? Do you have a contract? Or is it verbal agreement? How long have you worked there with this agreement? I had the same with a salon I...

Yes of course. Your hair is a lovely clean colour from what I can see in your photo. I’m not a colour technician so you may get a more experienced expert on here that will give you better advice on the blonde side of things but in my experience I’d be wary that putting an all over colour on...

I haven’t found that to be the case, maybe hair is too saturated..? but if it does take longer the benefits outway the extra few mins for a customer to leave the salon happier. I used to own a t&g franchise and whilst they will have a product for blow drying and would assume they are using it...

I can vouch for color wow, it’s very light and will work well on taming curls as well as blow drying smooth. i never found hair treatments/conditioners made that much difference but the color wow really worked. I would agree it’s maybe affected by moisture, or the heat off your scalp after being...

Basically look at your business and see what you need - do you need more customers? Do you have a lot of clients but could fill the gaps by increasing spend per head? Or is it client retention- do you have high client turnaround or less long term clients. Go through your salon diary or with a...
